This is my favourite poem. It was written by Leo Marks. It means so much to me, it was my sister’s favourite poem read at her funeral and helped me communicate with her somehow!!
The Life That I Have
By Leo Marks
The life that I have Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours
The love that I have Of the life that I have Is yours and yours and yours
A sleep I shall have A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause
For the peace of my years In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours and yours

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
